When Sheer Destiny Made Little Hrithik Roshan Land Up With His First Full-fledged Role, Here Read How?

On Karan Thapar’s show ‘Face to Face’, it was while having a conversation about his first major role in ‘Bhagwan Dada’, when the host asked him as to what did he remember about the movie, as he was just 10 at that time. To which, Hrithik replied saying, “Yeah! I was 11 I think, 11 or 10. I remember that, of course. It was fun. Actually, you know my grandfather (J Om Prakash) was directing the film and he was looking for a boy and they had found a boy to play that part and what happened was, when the schedule came closer, the boy fell sick. He fell sick with jaundice or something and now they were just left in the lurch that ‘we need a boy’ ‘we need a boy’ quick and I was sitting there in the hall while my grandfather was thinking, my dad was there and they were all contemplating ‘who, who, who?’ and my grandfather turned to me and says ‘why not, you know let’s ask him, he’ll do it’.”
Further, on being asked whether he was excited about doing it, he replied, “I was a kid. Yes, I was very excited at that time. I didn’t know what it was. I thought it was fun, the cameras, my dad does it. I was fascinated by the whole thing.”
He even went on to share that at that point of time as a kid he was just having fun and wasn’t serious at all. He never thought he would get into it. Though he always knew that he would be an actor one day, at that time he was just fascinated by the whole thing. And what started as a fascination grew into a passion, and after understanding the art Hrithik totally fell in love with it.
Today being Children’s Day, what better day to share this sweet incident of his childhood, which ultimately launched him on our screens, and further in our hearts.
